MY STORY

My story has been a multi-faceted pilgrimage...

Like many women, much of my life was marked by an underlying sense of barrenness – not just in circumstance, but in my soul. I carried a quiet fear of rejection and a deep loneliness that followed me. The lie I believed most was simple and devastating: I am not enough.

 

From a young age, this manifested as shame and unworthiness, and battled with body dysmorphia. For years, I viewed my “self” as the problem. Now, I see it differently. I see those struggles as symptoms of a far deeper disconnection – one I coin as “spiritual” dysmorphia from not being rooted in God and not knowing God, and therefore not knowing myself through His eyes.

 

I could not see myself as He created me – worthy, chosen, and loved.

 

In that season, I gave my power away freely. I took on the desires and expectations of others, lost my sense of self, and lived with little to no boundaries. I felt powerless in my own life. In an attempt to regain control, I began controlling the one thing I thought I could: my body. What I didn’t realize then was that this was only the beginning of a much deeper unraveling.

 

This was just the tip of the iceberg…

I felt powerless!

My first wake up call was in 2001...

After years of depriving my body of what she needed, battling anorexia, and escaping through addictive patterns that numbed what I didn’t want to feel, I experienced a serious health scare. I had to call 911 on myself. That moment became a turning point - one that forced me to begin healing my physical body back to her natural state..

Over time, I grew stronger. I felt more confident and more embodied. On the outside, my life looked “successful.” I had a thriving career and was in a serious relationship. Yet inwardly, the barrenness remained. I still felt disconnected, still searching, still asking the same question - only louder now..

Then in 2010, just weeks after my father passed away, everything shifted. In the midst of grief, I had a profound spiritual encounter that brought me to my knees in sobbing tears. I heard a voice reverberate through my soul telling me I was not living the life I was created to live. And so the question that would shape the next decade of my life emerged:

“Who am I?”

That question launched me into a deep journey of introspection and spiritual seeking. I was desperate to understand who I was and where I belonged in this world. With an insatiable hunger for growth and healing, I immersed myself in teachings, trainings, and spiritual practices of all kinds - believing that if I could reclaim the lost parts of myself, I would finally feel whole..

But this season also brought great strain to my marriage. Not only was I investing tons money on this path but the barrenness inside myself grew when I was unable to conceive - catapulting me more so into healing but...

I was searching for God in all the wrong places - through New Age teachings, driving me further away from the one True God.

Years later, as I fell to my knees in suffering, God met and supernaturally led me out of deception and into truth. I went from New Age to Jesus - and everything changed.

What I found in Christ was not another method of self-improvement, but true transformation. The healing I longed for -emotionally, spiritually, relationally - came not through striving, but through surrender. God healed me in ways I never experienced before. He restored my identity, strengthened my marriage, transformed my finances, and gave me a vision for legacy beyond anything I could have imagined.

Today, I no longer believe the lie of barrenness or rejection.

I know who I am in Christ.

I now show up to help other women strengthen their faith, break free from deception, and lead with love, clarity, and conviction in every area of their lives.

Nothing brings me more alive than that!

My life has transformed in so many ways through the very work I offer.
Everything I support women with was given to me as gifts from God to then share with women across the globe.

From there, I had the clarity I needed to move forward on my life path personally and professionally, it. was Magical!

Fun Facts about me:

My Happy Place:

Sun, sands and an ocean view is my favorite place to be. If you take me to an ocean, I may never leave! It's also where I feel most present, most natural and most connected to God, the warmth of the sun and the place where I can just "be".

My Side Passion:

Creating sacred experiences for others imbued with clean healthy eating and living experiences. This is not just a lifestyle I value but there is something so beautiful about serving others in this way and watching them feel so loved up and nourished.

My Foundation:

There is nothing like having a community of Sisterhood who connect, collaborate and cheer each other on, who believe in each other, who pray for each other, who laugh, play with and see each other and walk in faith together in all ways.

My Solitude:

Just as much as I love community, I love solitude. I love my moments with God, being in nature, and just tuning into the beauty of the love that surrounds me everyday. This is my reprieve that rejuvenates me and the sacred space that revives me.

My Aspirations:

To take time to visit different cultures, admire the beauty in the architecture, meet new people and hear their stories, serve communities in need and make a difference in those lives. I'm a lover of deep service along with being an explorer at heart.

My mentorship style:

Authentic, transparent, gently bold, impassioned, reflective, objective, non-judgmental, faith-based and sacred. Down to earth, infused with a bit of light humor and always in alignment with God's guidance, leave you feeling inspired and revived..
